Relax Pal, you are losing it again. I am Raptor fan as much as you are. I did read the comments and I am just adding my personal opinion to it. I never said AB is a star or anything close to one.

AB is at best a 3rd option in a good team and he is getting paid like ONE ( 8.5 million a year).
DD is at best ( right now and probably will be in future) a good starter in this league ( Jason Terry Kind of Player).

This is young team but nothing to be super excited about which has tone of talent and ... This is not Memphis or a Clippers and I dare to say Indiana !! Those teams have some nice young talents that gets the Coach excited to take a risk but not Raptors.

That being said, add that coming to Toronto, Hockey town and all ...

One thing you can always be certain of is my composure. Telling me to relax is unnecessary and the references of 'pal' is once again wreaking with arrogance and obnoxiousness.

With that said, valid points on Bargnani.

As was mentioned in a comment there is no doubt there are many other teams Adelman would pick before TOR - TOR would most likely not even be considered.

Difference between Memphis, Clippers, and Indiana is up until this year neither team has made the playoffs since 2006. That gives them 2 extra years of building to get to where they are and rightfully considered a better option for just about any coach over Toronto. As an aside, Indiana is in a really good position financially as well with only $34.8M committed to salaries next season.

DeMar DeRozan is absolutely nothing like Jason Terry. It's like saying Joakim Noah is a Dirk Nowitzki kind of player.

On a side note, Indiana had the worst attendance in the league and are bleeding money. Yeah, coaches want to go there over Toronto.

The Raptors look to have the same sort of set up as the Rockets. Just a bunch of pieces with no real all-stars. Obviously the talent isn't on par but a good selection at the draft, a solid free agency and a trade could have them in a solid position where any coach can make an imprint on the club. If Adelman wants a team he can mold his way then the Raptors are a good candidate.

"I had three experiences [before Houston]," he said. "At two, I had a lot of talent and at one, I didn't. I won at two places and didn't win at the other. I figured it out that talent is pretty important, ..."

Funny. Every rendition of the game for the past three years has had the Raptors with a trainer(can't remember, could be a scout) making like $7-8M/yr for two-three years which blows the staffing budget and prevents you from getting rid if Jay for anybody better or equal to him. You always need to wait for that other guy's contract to expire first... Which takes like two or three seasons. It's like somebody at 2K hates the Raptors fans and put in this little jab to spite them. No other team in the game has such a handicap as far as I know. Off topic. My bad.

Oh my god Apollo!!! This is too funny. I've literally thought about posting those exact same words. Just never knew where to get it in. I HATE it!! It's the NBA Scout for the Raps. Not even the prospect scout. Unbelievable.
His contract just ran out in my game. Was sooo happy when the off-season came and there wasn't even a good coach to hire. Jay was the best on the market. Go figure. hahah
